School is in! But preschoolers are still out half the day. What to do? Try a new playground, of course. From a pirate-themed paradise to an oasis where fake bears stand guard, we found great options for young kids that need to build up or burn off energy. Click through our album to discover them all.

For Room to Roam: Henry A. Proesel Park

Tube slides and an elaborate sandbox play structure are Proesel's main draws. In addition to ample green space, there is a covered area full of picnic tables and a lovely pergola near the playground. A short walk east past the pergola reveals a small modern playground, good for a preschooler challenge.
